Book Sharing - How Many seeds in a pumpkin?

This book is a little long and needed to elaborate a little on the things in it, therefore, it took us a whole hour to complete it.

How many seeds in a pumpkin? is by Margaret McNamara and G. Brian Karas. This interesting book introduced the concept of comparison from size and numbers. It also given some suggestions on how to count the seeds in the pumpkin. It is quite a new concept for kids to learn. We shall carry out some similar activity before we really count the pumpkin seeds.

In the story itself, the children will line up from the shortest to the tallest. So before we ended the class, I get the children to line up from the shortest to the tallest. It's fun as the children hardly compare their height with their fellow classmates. It took them a while to get the line correctly.
